Based on a film score depicting the tragic fate of the Scott expedition to the Antarctic, this symphony relies on color, atmosphere, and sonic splendor to make its expressive points. It hasn't been recorded that often--perhaps about a dozen times--with half of the performances being pretty miserable and half sounding very good to excellent. Here's how they rank.
